About the Author

Lonnie Honeycutt is an ordained, evangelical minister. Currently he lives in Mobile, Alabama with his wife and two children. Prior to dying Rev. Honeycutt served as both a senior and associate pastor for over 5 years. During that time he had the honor of counseling many hundreds of individuals. Since dying and being resurrected Rev. Honeycutt has had the opportunity to speak at churches and groups across the nation. Prior to giving his life to Jesus Christ Lonnie was a devote agnostic. While working at a laboratory he was approached and befriended by a Jehovah's Witness and thus began a period of study with the same that lasted more than three years. During this time Lonnie began studying koine Greek and issues pertaining to the Bible. After repeatedly questioning the teachings of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society for more than two years Lonnie was asked to leave the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. Though never baptized as a Jehovah's Witness he is considered an authority on what they teach, how they come to believe what they believe, and how to reach out to them effectively. Just prior to leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses Lonnie began studying different belief systems in a search to find the truth about God. His studies included, but were not limited to: Mormonism, Buddhism, Orthodox Christianity, and many New Age theologies. At the age of 21 a Christian minister suggested to Lonnie that he read the entire New Testament and then ask God to reveal Himself to Lonnie if He were real. Two days later Lonnie had completed the New Testament and, just after midnight on September 13, 1986, he asked Christ into his life and became a new creature. Since his conversion and rebirth Lonnie has attempted to witness to as many people as possible about Jesus. He has conducted seminars ranging in content from creation/evolution to salvation and the Trinity to Cults. Rev. Honeycutt (RevLon) believes that one of the reasons he was given the chance to return to Earth was so that he could tell everyone possible about the facts that Heaven and Hell are real and that each and every person can go to the former (Heaven) and escape the latter (Hell) by having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. His book, 'Death, Heaven and Back' is one of the ways that he does this.

My husband and I loved the book, Death, Heaven and Back!
What really makes it exciting is we were there for the entire thing except the trip to heaven but we were at the hospital waiting for him to return.Lonnie fought a tremendous battle, but every word is true! If this doesn't convince you about God and miracles I don't know what could.
As for us WE BELIEVE!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 22, 2009

This review is from: Death, Heaven And Back: The True Story Of One Man's Death And Resurrection (Paperback)

I really enjoyed the book. The individual perspectives from his wife, family and friends really give an all around overview of what happened.

The medical descriptions show the gravity of the situation and let you know that this was actually a death and resurrection experience.

Only by the grace of God could anyone go through what Lonnie went through and be as positive and upbeat as he was in the emails at the end of the book.

What an amazing story of death, heaven and resurrection miracles.

This review is from: Death, Heaven And Back: The True Story Of One Man's Death And Resurrection (Paperback)

When I read this book, it was so amazingly real and made an impact on my life in a way that I never thought that it could. The book illustrates the struggles that this man went through as cancer battled its way into his life and eventually, with God's amazing hand, Lonnie wins the battle! Lonnie, the man in this book, never gives up hope in the Lord and it inspired me that he would never stop giving it all back to God.
If you are going through anything, big or small, this is an awesome book to read, that will encourage you and remind you that you are in God's hands and he will take care of you! I recommend this book to anyone!
